(EF) adopted the following Mission Statement: The Educational Foundation of Alfred, Inc. is a private foundation representing faculty, staff, and friends of Alfred State College dedicated to improving the Alfred State College community through support of educational programs. The Foundation exists to enhance learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff. While this was the first time that the purpose of the EF was so formally articulated, the history of the Foundation and its predecessors, the Ag-Tech Student Association, the Faculty Student Association (FSA) and the Ag-Tech Benevolent Association (BA), show that this mission had been carried out for over fifty years and continues to be so now. FOUNDING OF THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION A Benevolent Association was incorporated in 1946 “to establish, maintain and manage living quarters, dining facilities, recreational centers, and other programs in harmony with normal student life in both scholastic and recreational channels at the New York State Agricultural Institute at Alfred.”* At that time, the Student Association, not the Benevolent Association, controlled money, which came from student fees and was used for activities outside the classroom.
